As far back as anyone can remember people have thought it
satisfying and entertaining to lop cocks and balls off in retribution for
everything from rape and infidelity to choosing the wrong side in a third world
coup. In recent times, the most famous incident of vengeful is the 1993
unmanning of John Wayne Bobbitt. Lorena Bobbitt, fed up with being abused by by
good old John, decided to inflict a little damage of her own. So she sliced off
his penis, hopped in the car, and flung the estranged member to the winds as she
burned rubber down the road.

The bobbed member, found laying along side the road, was
successfully reattached and even surgically enhanced with the resultant super
penis later available for viewing in such films as John Wayne Bobbit Uncut.
John Wayne is not alone in his Frankenpenis condition however,
contemporaries from Thailand to Warsaw have had their weenies sewn back on after
an impassioned severing at the hands of others (or themselves). But not all such
tales end so happily however. In 1987, for example, the wife of Hong Kong
resident Lin Yuk-sang, snipped off his penis with a pair of scissors and flushed
it down the toilet. Motive? Yuk-sang had been entertaining a mistress on the
side.

No doubt the Victorian analyst Sigmund Freud would have felt
vindicated by this flurry of penile castration. According to Freud, most women
resent their own lack of a penis and therefore unconsciously long to lop their
lover's schlong off. Naturally feminists have sneered at this suggestion,
accusing Freud of projecting his own issues on to his patients and onto women in
general. And scholars of castration history have scratched their heads over
Freud's obsession with penis chopping since historically it was the balls, not
the penis that was associated with castration.

But as Lorena and other cutting women have demonstrated, Freud
was obviously onto something. Women were becoming disillusioned with society's
reverence of the penis. But what 19th and 20th century women were really peeved
about was less the lack of a penis than the lack of all the privileges that went
with the penis.

After hundreds of years of being told "I'm sorry dear, but you
don't have a penis -- sit down, shut up, and spread your legs," the female
gender got rightly uppity and began demanding the vote, equal pay,
contraception, and finally even
orgasms. So in a sense, Freud was right -- a lot of women really did want
to cut the penis down to size. (Of course some more literally than others.)

Once upon a time however, in the lands of the Mediterranean and
the Middle East, women discovered that the mighty penis was a mighty fine friend
-- if you instead cut it down to size by removing its sperm sacks. Ironically
enough, while rich men and sultans were paying top dollar for de-balled slaves
to guard their harems from penile intrusion, the women of the harem were
discovering that men who were made Eunuch after puberty could still get
it up. And what's more, a woman could fool around with eunuchs as much as she
wanted, without getting pregnant. (Although getting caught could be a death
sentence, especially for the eunuch.)

OK so where am I going with this? In BDSM mind fucks are superb
scene setters and the threat of castration one really focus a males mind. I'm
not advocating doing a Lorena with a sharp knife but banding. Many people play
and fantasise with an elastrator the instrument used in banding, among
other things and as long as we keep it on that level we will be
OK. But banding if used incorrectly and long enough it could be extremely
painful and dangerous. . The little rubber rings can be used for many things if
you have an inventive mind including nipple grips and even decorative rope
whippings. However, the elastrator comes into its own when used for its intended
purpose- emasculation.

The specially compounded rubber ring is easily
put in place with the Elastrator. Remember if left there the circulation is shut
off, and any sensation passes quickly as the part becomes numb, and would
eventually fall off. Remember this is a play scenario so keep it brief if at
all. The threat and a demonstration of the bander stretching the little ring is
often enough. I think the longest my male could stand stand it was about
5 minutes before he started to panic. I do remember having a very difficult time
getting his balls through the little band (5 x 3cm's) the first time until I
realized I should do them one at a time. When you have got his balls through,
pull the sack through so the band nestles nice and close to his body. Slowly
release your grip on the bander and as the jaws close watch his eyes open as he
realises what has been done to him and that he can't get it off. Will
I ever leave it in place? One day perhaps if he doesn't behave.

Don't forget to carry a few bands in your purse and slip one to
him if you find him flirting. Subtle, yes?
